6.1.3 Front Panel Channel Scheme Icon
The term “channel scheme” describes the array of speakers in
use. The channel scheme operating at any time is linked to the
input signal, speaker setup and decode mode and is illustrated
on the n-Vi front panel display by an icon in the bottom right
hand corner (See Diagram 6.1.3). The icon changes as different
input signals and decode modes are selected (either manually
or automatically) or speaker setups are specified.
The icon represents a listening room with front left, centre,
front right, surround left, surround right and subwoofer
speakers. Each speaker element within the icon shows or hides
to denote presence in the speaker setup, grows or shrinks to
reflect “large” or “small” specification (see Paragraph 7.6.1),
or is filled or empty to denote its presence or absence in the
channel scheme.

6.2 The NARCOM DV Handset
The NARCOM DV is a dedicated remote handset for the n-Vi,
DVD5 and AV2. It will also operate the core functions of a Naim
CD player, preamplifier or
integrated amplifier.
The System Component
keys switch the handset
mode of operation as
appropriate to different
components (preamplifier,
CD, AV, DVD, n-Vi).
pre: Switches the action of
appropriate keys to operate
a preamplifier or integrated
amplifier.
cd:
Switches the action of
appropriate keys to operate
a CD player.
av: Switches the action
of appropriate keys to
operate an AV2 audio-visual
processor or n-Vi system
(including DAB/FM module).
dvd: Switches the action of
appropriate keys to operate
a DVD player or n-Vi system
(including DAB/FM module).
Note: An audio CD played
in a DVD/n-Vi player would
still be controlled with the
handset in DVD mode.
Depending on the System Component setting and, in some
cases signal input selected, the
Numeric keys select disc titles,
groups, tracks or chapters or tuner presets.
Note: To select DVD titles or DVD-A groups place a leading zero
before the required title or group number.
The twin sets of Volume and Mute keys remain available to
either an AV processor (or n-Vi) or preamplifier regardless of the
setting of the System Component keys.
The Player Transport keys will switch between CD and DVD
player operation depending on the
System Component
key
selection. If preamplifier or AV is selected the Player Transport
keys will operate the last component type selected.
